Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The UAV Pilot & Engineer will operate and maintain drone systems during client demonstrations and acceptance tests. They are responsible for diagnosing technical issues, analyzing flight logs, and providing actionable feedback to engineering teams.
Candidates must have hands-on experience with UAV hardware assembly, configuration, and flight operations. A strong technical background in electronics or aviation, along with proficiency in flight controller platforms like ArduPilot or Betaflight, is required.
Sine Engineering is the leading global company developing advanced radio communication and navigation systems. We are building mission-critical infrastructure for the multi-million drone era.
We are looking for a hands-on UAV Pilot & Engineer to join our team in Finland. You will prepare and fly UAVs during client demonstrations, acceptance tests, and integration activities, working closely with the local Integration Manager and Ukraine-based engineering teams. This role goes beyond piloting: we expect you to analyze what happens in flight, trace issues to their root cause, and turn field observations into clear, actionable feedback for engineering.
Location: Finland (on-site)
Business trips: Required (international, including Ukraine)
Operate UAVs (fixed-wing and multirotor) during test flights, client demonstrations, and acceptance activities
Prepare systems for flight: assembly, configuration, calibration, and pre-flight inspections
Ensure UAV and equipment readiness for demos and field activities: configuration control, spares, rapid repairs
Execute customer-facing flights with strict adherence to safety standards and mission protocols
Diagnose mechanical, electronic, and software issues in lab and field conditions — identify the root cause, not just the symptom
Analyze flight logs (ground control and onboard systems) to detect anomalies, performance issues, and system limitations; build clear cause-and-effect explanations of failures
Evaluate test and demo outcomes, systematize recurring issues, and propose improvements to engineering
Tune and configure flight controllers (ArduPilot, iNav, Betaflight); integrate components such as cameras, antennas, telemetry modules, and payloads
Work with communication protocols (MAVLink, CRSF, SBUS, CAN, UART) at a practical level
Maintain documentation: test reports, checklists, issue logs, lessons learned
Communicate with engineers and technical teams in Ukraine to ensure configuration consistency and technical alignment
Experience operating UAVs (fixed-wing or multirotor) confidently in real conditions
Full drone system setup experience — from hardware assembly to flight readiness
Hands-on configuration experience with at least one platform: ArduPilot, iNav, or Betaflight
Solid technical understanding of UAV systems: electronics, connectors, soldering, antennas, basic aerodynamics
Strong analytical skills: flight log analysis, structured troubleshooting, ability to reason from symptom to root cause and clearly explain the chain of events
Ability to perform troubleshooting and repairs in field conditions
Strong safety mindset and disciplined operational behavior — comfortable flying in front of clients
Ability to organize own tasks independently in dynamic environments
Willingness to travel internationally, including business trips to Ukraine
Finnish — Native or Advanced. English — B2 or higher
Experience with both fixed-wing and multirotor platforms
Technical education in aviation, radio electronics, robotics, or related fields
Understanding of radio communication principles: signal propagation, interference, antenna selection
Experience writing short technical reports or structured issue descriptions
Experience in drone racing, SAR operations, or other high-responsibility flight environments
Experience supporting demos or working directly with clients
